Jack-up offshore platform and method for reducing lateral oscillating movements thereof

摘要

The invention relates to a jack-up offshore platform (1). The platform comprises a work deck (2) supported by spud poles (3) and adjustable in height above the water surface, wherein at least one spud pole is provided with through-channels (23,24) for the seawater from an upstream side of the spud pole to a downstream side of the spud pole. The jack-up platform can be utilized at greater water depths than the known platform. The invention also relates to a method for operating a jack-up offshore platform in a water mass with strong current.
